CHAPTER- III
RESEARCH METHODOLOGIES
17
Research Methodology
Several characteristics of modern business encourage the use of marketing research by business. First, the suppliers of products and services need to be informed about the final consumer in order to market their products and services more effectively. Secondly, as a company grows and starts distributing its products in number of different markets, the managers of the company find themselves becoming more separated from the final consumers of their products. Managers need information from their final consumers in order to satisfy the consumers, managers need at least five such information topics, which are of great interest from them. These five topics are:
18
Marketing research is the function which likes the consumers, customers & public the marketer through information which is used to identify & define marketing opportunities & problems, generate, refine & evaluate marketing action; monitor marketing performances & improve understanding of marketing as a process. According to American Marketing Association, Marketing research is the systematic, gathering, recording, and analyzing of data about problems related to the marketing of goods and services. Marketing research specifies the information required to address these issues, designs & the method of collecting information. It manages & implements the data collecting process, analyses the results & communicates the findings & their implications.
19
EXPLORATORY RESEARCH:
It seeks to discover new relationships. All marketing research projects start with it. This is a preliminary phase & is absolutely essential in order to obtain a proper definition of problems at hand. The major emphasis is on the discovery of ideas & insight. Exploratory research looks for hypothesis in well-established fields of study. Hypothesis usually comes from ideas developed in previous researches or are delivered from theory. Hypothesis is tentative answer to the question that serves as guide for most of the research projects. It is sub-divided as: a) Search for secondary data b) Survey
20
Survey:
All those who have any association with the efforts to market the products in question are potential sources of information in a MR project. Such individuals may include anybody related anyhow to the topic. Individual interviews may be in-depth interview or projective techniques by which respondents are asked to project themselves into a particular situation, group interviews have come to be called focused group interviews.
21
CASE STUDY:
This method has long been considered Soft. The case method has received more attention. Indeed the case method might be considered one variation of the survey of individuals with ideas. It involves the comprehensive study of one or a few specific situation and lends itself particularly to the study of complex situation in which the inter-relation of several individuals is important. The emphasis is on obtaining a complete description and understanding of the relationship among factors in each instance regardless of the number involved.
22
CONCLUSIVE RESEARCH:
Conclusive research provides information that helps the executive so that he can make a rational decision. This study has done well while attempting to arrive at a more clear description of an apparent problem. Conclusive research study is classified as: a) Descriptive study b) Experimental study
Descriptive Study:
Descriptive study, as the name implies, is designed to describe something. The characteristics of users of a given products and the degree to with the product is used varies with income, age, sex or other characteristic or the number of person who sees a specific television commercials, etc. A majority of marketing research studies is of this type. To be of maximum value, a descriptive must collect the data for a definite purpose. Definite data are commonly used as a direct basis for marketing decisions after analysis of data. The investigator attempts to predict the result of certain actions, they may predict that concentration of advertising on upper income people will increase sales volume.
23
Descriptive study can be done in two ways: 1. CASE STUDY: When the case method is used in exploratory research, the purpose is to discover new ideas about relationship, which are then tested by conclusive research. If any conclusion is drawn from the case studies the testing of these conclusions occurs only as they are put into practice.
2. STATISTICAL METHOD: The statistical method is the most widely used in marketing research. This method involves the study of a few factors in a large number of cases. As more cases are involved the statistical method must use different methods of analysis, methods designed for mass data, to identify cases and focuses instead on classes average percentage measures of dispersion and more sophisticated statistical procedures.
24
Experimental Study
Experiments are much more effective than descriptive techniques in establishing cause and effective relationships. The collection of data in an experiment is organized in such a way as to permit relatively unambiguous interpretation. Design of experiments tends itself more readily to rational analysis and provides an ideal against which other research designs can be compared. There could be laboratory and field experiment. In laboratory experiments, test subject, usually consumers are brought to a particular place and then they are examined while in field experiments variables are taken in the field.
25
QUETIONNAIRE IS OF THE FOLLOWING TYPES: 1. Structured Non Disguised Questionnaire: Most questionnaire studies made in marketing research are of this type. A structured interviews of this type introduced gives more reliable results. The purpose of the question is clear and thus undisguised. It is simple to administer and easy to tabulate and analyze. This questionnaire has also got the provision for alternative response that helps in making the questions clear. 2. Non-Structured None Disguised Questionnaire: Unstructured and undisguised questionnaire is distinguished by the fact that the purpose of study is clear but the questions remain open-ended. 3. Non-Structured Disguised Questionnaire: Many people are either unwilling or unable to give accurate response as to their own attitudes and motivations. To overcome this, disguised methods have been developed. 4. Structured-Disguised Questionnaire: These are the least used in the marketing research. They emerge as an attempt to secure the advantage of disguise in revealing the sub-conscious and hidden motives and attitudes along with the advantage in coding and tabulation common to structured disguised approach which typically rests on propositions regarding the role of attitude in persons typical psychological make-up.
26
2.
1. Whether the situation on which the observation is made natural or contrived. 2. Whether the observation is obtrusive or unobtrusive. 3. Whether the observation is structured or unstructured. 4.

Each of the classification has some impact on the quality of the data collected. 1.

Survey method, and Personal Interview.
29

DATA ANALYSIS AND INTERPRETATION
106
DATA ANALYSIS
I have done a survey regarding the selection of bank. This survey does not include any questionnaire or any big list of questions. This was a simple survey that includes only three simple questions i.e. In which bank do you want to open an account whether it is saving or categories of current account. What is your occupation ? What is the reason for selecting the particular bank i.e.
In this survey we have given the option for the following banks i.e. HDFC BANK ICICI BANK UTI BANK IDBI BANK
107
Question 1.
In which bank do you want to open an account whether it is saving or categories of current account? 40% people said that they cant say anything without knowing the services of the banks. Remaining 60% people have given their opinion.

Question 3 :What is the reason for selecting the particular bank ? Reason for choosing particular bank is the name & goodwill of the bank. Most of the people have banks customer due to the goodwill & its oldness. Some of the respondents have their account in banks they choose so results are as follows.
40 35 30 25 20 15 10 5 0

Out of 60%; 36(60%) people have selected the bank due to its goodwill, 18(30%) people have selected it due to its services & 06(10%) people have selected it due to nearness or some relationship with banks employees so that their work can easily be done.
110
FINDINGS
As we have seen that all the 4 banks are providing almost the same kind of services to their customers in somewhat more or less numbers. I have done the comparison on the basis of service charges different banks are charging from their following interpretation is drawn : ICICI Bank proves itself the best bank among the 4 banks in Muzaffarnagar(U.P) Because it is providing the best and some extra services and benefits to its customers in comparatively less charges. HDFC Bank got 2nd position because it has less number of product range than ICICI Bank and in some categories of Current A/C some services are not providing by it. UTI Bank got third rank as it is better than each other in some offerings and benefits. IDBI Bank got 4th position as it has not providing much more option to customers in investing their money. It has only few categories of current a/c and its charges very high.
111
Conclusion
Conclusion of study reveals many facts about the bank. Overall conclusion is as follows:-
them to avail the services. Conclusion about services and both favorable and unfavorable Services and charges prove favorable for the services with which it is proving good services in low charges or charges equal to the charges of the main competitor. And proves unfavorable for the services and products not providing by it while providing by any other leading bank. For the example HDFC bank is not providing the service of home delivery and collection with current a/c category-1 while other banks are providing the same service by charging minimum charges. This could prove unfavorable to bank as this service can attract customers. To conclude at last I would conclude HDFC bank is a bank, which provides attractive services, it has got a very good name in the market. I wish that HDFC bank keep up its name & grow with a great speed. It was such a grateful opportunity to get training in such a renowned bank.
112
Limitations
1. 2. 3. 4. 5.
There is time constraint for me. Not exact & true information given by people. Inadequate data. It is tough to take appointment. The members of the bank are loosing trust towards the bank due to less concern attitude of its head office.
6.
HDFC are not properly communicating about the products and schemes to the customers.
7. 8.
HDFC are less motivating towards bankers to sale their product Frequent changes in schemes make bankers & customers confused.
113
CHAPTER V
SUGGESTIONS AND RECOMMENDATION
114
SUGGESTION
As HDFC is providing very good services in terms of the money transaction but they are not having their ATMs in comparison to the other banks if we consider only in Muzaffarnagar(U.P) then ICICI is having 3 ATMs but HDFC is having only 1 ATMs. So HDFC should increase their ATMs services. HDFC bank is having very good policy for the ARMY but they are not having much concentration on the saving a/c then the ICICI bank so HDFC should make some special arrangement for the ARMY saving a/c. HDFC is not having their Internet service in a good manner then ICICI & other banks as ICICI is providing the bill pay facility through internet but HDFC is not having. So HDFC should appoint a team who can make this facility batter.
115
Third Party Pay is a major issue for the HDFC bank because they only having self Pay facility & customer want the Third Party Pay. So HDFC also consider this point. HDFC bank is not having more categories in Current a/c then ICICI bank. The last but not least HDFC banks working hour they close their bank at 3.30 but all other bank providing the facility up to 7-8 pm.
Questionnaire
In which bank do you want to open an account whether it is saving or categories of current account?
What is your occupation ? . What is the reason for selecting the particular bank ?
